The Distance between the motorcycles is 35.3 km

Pythagoras theorem shows the relationship between sides in a right angled triangle.

The distance moved north, distance moved west and the distance between the motorcycles form a right angled triangle.

distance between the motorcycles² = distance moved north² + distance moved north²

Distance between the motorcycles² = 15² + 32²

Distance between the motorcycles² = 1249

Distance between the motorcycles = 35.3 km

Hence the Distance between the motorcycles is 35.3 km
